A short bit for now as I've got to go out, and I've had a few beers.
Phone call yesterday from the dealer, they've got a rep coming on a S10, did I want to come down? Very much so.
This morning the g/f and I head down on the Ten I sig the paper work and disappear for 2 hours on the Press Fleet S10.
What can I say?
Having ridden all the BMW GS's, and the KTM Adventure 990, its better than them all for road work. The KTM would have the edge on the serious off road stuff, but the S10 held it's own, even 2up.
Road wise, it cruised happily at 95 snails per hour 2 up with no need to drop down from top to over take. Very comfy riding position, both for me and pillion. Seriously good brakes, Traction control makes itself known on road when you're hustling from a launch, you can turn it off. ABS off road wasn't intrusive, or maybe I was just planning my braking, don't know.

Some pics then, and more later-









In short though, a very good bike, and smaller than the GS feels.
